Order of Business. (8 Feb 2006)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I object to the guillotine applying to Second Stage of the Finance Bill this evening. For the reason Deputy Burton highlighted, and others allied to it, the Government is only too delighted to see a guillotine apply, with less opportunity provided to Members to draw attention to and tease out the salient items in the Finance Bill and those that are not so. This is against the backdrop of the...

Order of Business. (8 Feb 2006)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I will not do so.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Taoiseach is aware, as is every member of the Dáil and the Seanad and as are people throughout the country, that a woman has been protesting outside this institution day and night for several months, making what I and many see as a courageous stand for justice. She is undoubtedly an exceptional woman. If anyone took the time to stop and talk with her, that would be confirmed. Marie...

Leaders' Questions. (8 Feb 2006)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Taoiseach's response in repeating the mantra that he employed here before does not answer the questions put to him or the immediacy and importance of meeting Marie Therese O'Loughlin's case. This was not an overnight hostel as his choice of language would imply. Marie Therese O'Loughlin spent four and a half years of her young life in that institution. It can be described as nothing else....
